Take a screenshot

See something interesting on your Windows Phone that you want to take a picture of? Whether it's a text exchange with a friend, an unbelievable score in a game you just played, or something else, you can take a screenshot of it. Screenshots are saved in the Photos Hub and are easy to share.

On Windows Phone 8.1, just press the Power

and Volume Up buttons at the same time to take a picture of your screen. These are automatically saved in the Screenshots album in the Photos Hub.

Note

To take a screenshot on Windows Phone 8, press and hold Start and Power

at the same time.
